IOL Advances

Phakic option provides hope to patients who are not candidates for laser vision correction.

To mark the 20th anniversary of its TECNIS IOLs, Johnson & Johnson Vision is launching the “See More” campaign to educate patients and physicians on what is possible with cataract surgery.

Daniel H. Chang, MD, shares data on a recent study involving a new violet light-filtering chromophore in a preclinical computer simulation testing and randomized clinical study.

Phakic lenses are proving to be excellent additions to refractive practices.

Procedure increases lens stability and improves visual acuity in patients.

Robert Ang, MD, discusses highlights of his AAO 2020 presentation on a study analyzing the vIsual outcomes of a small-aperture IOL implantation in patients with a history of post-laser refractive surgery.
